Slow Cooker White Chicken Chili

<p>There’s not a tomato in sight in Ree Drummond’s chicken chili recipe, which uses whole chicken breasts, cooked and then shredded to give heft to the finished dish. Whole milk and masa add creaminess, but if you’re looking for more richness, garnish with additional sour cream.</p>
